HYDERABAD: Citing ‘irregularities’ in the transfer of teachers and lecturers, the Telangana Congress chief spokesperson Dasoju Sravan has demanded a probe into the alleged involvement of friends close to deputy chief minister and education minister
Kadiyam Srihari and some top officials in the commissioner of collegiate education.
In a letter to chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Sunday, Sravan said that web counselling has proved to be a big farce with some teachers managing to get transfers of their choice, allegedly on payment of money. Some of the leaders of teachers’ unions are also suspected to be involved, Sravan said and demanded a probe.
Sravan said recent transfers have not been done as per GO MS No. 182 and that the process lacked transparency. Though the exercise of transfers was completed on June 30, the transfers of degree
college lecturers are still going on, Sravan alleged.
He said so far 142 transfers have been made in the 'on duty' category. Even 'inter zonal postings' have been done in the 'on duty' category. A chemistry lecturer, who works in fifth zone was transferred to sixth zone in
Mahabubabad. Similarly, a
microbiology lecturer was transferred to
Hanamkonda from sixth to fifth zone. Two other lecturers — of History and Chemistry — have been transferred from fifth to sixth zone. Further, he said the rule for keeping a husband and wife in the same zone has been violated by not giving them ‘spouse points’.
“The claims of state government carrying out transfers in a transparent manner have proved wrong. Of 75,000-odd teachers who applied online for transfers, over 31,000 have been transferred. However, by not following the rules, the state government has done injustice to them, especially the spouse cases,” he added.
